Celtic Anthology: What's it all about?

With the Celtic Anthology now available and popping through letter boxes daily here's a few words reminding everyone what it's all about and why we want you to get involved.

Motivated by the spirit of Walfrid the Celtic Anthology aims to breathe new life into the ancient art of Celtic storytelling for modern times and donate proceeds from the book sales to the Celtic FC Foundation.

To help achieve these goals we've collected various tales and poems from around the world. Many stories are told in English. Others, in an attempt to capture a wide range of diverse voices, are written in various styles of the local dialect heard on the streets of Glasgow and the stands of Celtic Park.

These voices, heard over the years singing and roaring Celtic teams to glory, have seldom been represented in the vast canon of literature relating to the club, yet they represent the roots of the Celtic support.

If you enjoy the stories and poems in the book we hope you'll help spread the word and encourage others to get involved. Whether that entails buying further copies of the book as presents, or writing a story, or poem, or song, or whatever inspires you, is up to you.

The book is available to purchase here and should be delivered in time for Christmas.
